[Verse]
Am
It wasn't out of cruelty
I said goodbye today
Em
But the pictures were turning yellow
I helped them on their way
Am
The wind picks up the pieces
Blows them all around
Em
Breathe in the smoke, then breathe it out
[Chorus]
D4
I tore out all the pages one by one
Em
Put them in the fire
D4
Light shines almost brighter than before
Em
One more time one more time
[Verse]
Am
These times insult you
With their doubts and fears
Em
So I thought I'd stop them
Before they got too near
Am
Scratch at your memory
Whisper in the dark
Em
They are everywhere
And they are nowhere
[Chorus]
D4
I tore out all the pages one by one
Em
Put them in the fire
D4
Light shines almost brighter than before
Em
One more time one more time
[Bridge]
Em
I was tired of explaining
Why you were still around
Am
There were no more excuses to be made
Em
The time has passed
And it can be unkind
Am
You didn't look so graceful in your old age
[Chorus]
D4
I tore out all the pages one by one
Em
Put them in the fire
D4
Light shines almost brighter than before
Em
One more time one more time
